STOCK ACTION: I have 6k MTSN shares dating back to $7.125 so to say that I am happy with progress so far is a huge understatement! The progress to the $14-15 price level seemed pretty precarious, and there was a lot of hesitation for a while after that, but once the stock started to move it has showed tremendous momentum. My initial thought after the Secondary was announced that this was a cruel blow, combined with the inevitable "sell on the news" action. However, there has been a real show of strength after that. The next 2 years in the semi equipment field seem (by general consensus) to be prospectively tremendous. MTSN's share of this likely will increase significantly. In the circumstance, a double from here, at least, is not at all improbable. Glad to see there are lots of other optimists. Best wishes, Jim

Jack, I asked for a chart read, I got one! Thanks much! Haven't seen you on the MTSN board before......already own some, or just looking? I think most of us here already have a 3 bagger (or more) and are a little apprehensive about squeezing some more juice out of this baby. Personally, my intellect says the cap-equip business has a long ways to go, but my emotional side says, "Be cautious!....the market could tank, taking everything along with it." My compromise has been to offload about 50% of my holdings into cash since 1st of the year. If your chart reading is accurate, I might wish I hadn't. Thanks for your input! Knip
